Cheese Kreplach Can I make a cheese kreplach with ricotta cheese? I don't have farmer cheese. Also, would I boil them, bake them or fry them? Thank you.

HI Roberta!
Ricotta might be a bit looser than farmer cheese, so be careful that the mixture isn't too wet.

Thank you, Chaia. Would I boil them like I do for meat or bake or fry them like a blintze?

Boil them. But sometimes, when I throw caution, and calories, to the wind, I fry them a bit to get them crispy.
